Easter Bunny Card

Here's a card I made for this month's Papercraft Inspirations magazine - for the quick cards section. On sale now, there are lots of great ideas for Spring cards in the magazine. The rabbit was done with punches, clouds are Memory Box dies..It actually is a little 'dented' - it was made when I was in America, sent across to the UK to the magazines photography studio, then sent back to me. So a well travelled little card....

I found a space on my desk for my beloved Singer sewing machine which I use just for cards, and shipped it across the Atlantic. I love it because it is so easy to thread, takes just seconds to change to a different colour thread. Anyway, I wanted to sew on a card so set it up. Wow, it roared along at a rate of knots. Not quite right, I mused and pondered, and changed the settings a bit. No difference, this machine was on steroids. If there was an Olympics for machines, mine would win the gold without any problem. Finally the penny dropped - it is not dual voltage and is used to running on 120 volts (USA) and I had it plugged in to take 240 volts (UK). Ooops! Apparently you can buy a converter, so I am going to search for one today, in the meantime the machine is unplugged before it sets the house on fire, and my cards will have to remain unstitched!

You still have time to put your name down for the flexmarker set on offer earlier this week, scroll down for the post. I am doing a spot of grandbaby sitting this weekend, so expect some tales if Max and Milo are on top form!
